Design-Build Services

You are here

BLOC assembles teams of engineers, architects, and contractors who can provide the results you seek: one-source responsibility, timely project completion, and budgetary control.

BLOC coordinates all aspects and stages of the project from start to finish. The team members selected by BLOC understand the design-build concept and focus on cooperation and consensus throughout the course of each project.

BLOC adds value to your project by focusing on:

• Sole source responsibility: all team members are hired under one contract
• Innovative designs through owner/designer/constructor collaboration and consensus
• Improved communication throughout the project
• Cost control through frequent budget updates
• Collaborative schedule development by owner/designer/constructor team

BLOC is a corporate member of the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA), and we support the growing trend toward alternative project delivery. DBIA membership allows us to remain informed of trends, concepts across best practices within this delivery spectrum.
